  • The Hag of Beara (Irish: An Chailleach Bhéara, also known as The White Nun of Beara, or The Old Woman of Dingle) is a mythic Irish Goddess (a Cailleach, or divine hag, crone, or creator deity; literally the "veiled one" (caille translates as "hood", the implications that the woman is a nun) associated with the Beara Peninsula in County Cork, Ireland, who was thought to bring winter. She is best known as the narrator of the medieval Irish poem "The Lament of the Hag of Beara", in which she bitterly laments the passing of her youth and her decrepit old age. The Hag of Beara is said to have been born in Dingle, County Kerry, at "Teach Mor" or the Great House, described as "the house farthest west in Ireland", and today identified as Tivore on the Dingle promontory. Along with County Kerry, she is also closely associated with County Cork, with the Great Book of Lecan (c.1400AD) detailing some of the stories around her legacy. In some tellings, she lived several lives, and is said to have been a mother or foster mother to the ancestors of a number of prominent clans, including the Corca Dhuibhne and Corca Loighdhe. According to legend, the hag had seven successive periods of youth, during which her sons and their sons rose some of the region's most prominent clans. She is said to have worn a veil, given to her by Saint Cummine, for a hundred years. (en)
